Kepa Arrizabalaga has said he understands why Manchester United's David De Gea is sad after the Chelsea goalkeeper took his place in the Spain squad.
De Gea has reigned as Spain's outright No. 1 choice in goal since 2016, but Spain manager Luis Enrique has started to pick Kepa ahead of the elder talent in recent matches.
The Blues keeper told reporters he was happy to have taken a more prominent role in the national team of late and sympathised with De Gea's plight, per Vaishali Bhardwaj of the Evening Standard:
"I'm going to continue working as I have until now, doing my best at my club to keep the confidence of the coach.
